7·2 days agoI did. Luckily there were points where it was shit enough to be able to leave without looking back.
I beat The Black Heart, Atheon, Crota, Oryx, Siva, Xol, Ghaul, Calus, Riven, Nezerac, Savathun, and The Witness, plus AlakHul, Atraks, Sepiks, Taniks, the Forsaken Baron, a bunch of Vex Gatelords and Overminds… I rediscovered 3 Dark Subclasses plus a fourth Light one and then merged them, I became an Iron Lord, a Dregden and went to Osiris’ Lighthouse in D1 and D2, healed the Traveller (twice), I witnessed my own funeral in the Corridors of Time, bringing back Saint 14, I saved and killed Rasputin and Prince/Crow, became Taken and beat Sword Logic, Vex Simulations, and Nightmares themselves: including the real world that’s four entire realities I conquered and I communed with The Long Boi In The Soup. I saw the whole story through. Anything that happens now is of lesser concern, so I can leave.
For me the big mistake started with the Dreaming City: when the world first raid changed the game for other players- I wasn’t the main character any more and canonically all the raids and boss fights after that were done by other players, and mine (canonically even!) just fantasized about it pretending I was there. Even in the very last fight against the Witness, canonically, I was just one of hundreds of thousands in a faceless army that defeated it together.

I like to throw in some roughly chopped fennel to the same pan.
A lot of them have seasons - off the top of my head
- Subway Surfers
- Fortnight
- Hearthstone
- Fallout 76
- Destiny 2
- Rocket League
- Duolingo
- DOTA
- Dead by Daylight
- Fall Guys
Then you’ve got your Stardew Valleys, Animal Crossings etc that ise ecological seasons as part of game play.
Therapy isn’t a single sentence, and we talked over these things for weeks for me to get to this place. It also had to come from me, one thing I talked about is that dwelling on misery/mistakes is, for me anyway, a guilty pleasure and a little addictive, so I had to be truly sick of living that way and genuinely want the change in my heart of hearts.

9·9 days agosuper minor but I always preferred to define fizzbuzz as modulo 3*5 to show adherence to the instructions in the readability of the code without having to think about why
11·11 days agoFYI blades go dull after a few years even without use just due to entropy.
I learned to use a straight razor over covid. You use barely any pressure, tilt the blade and go with the grain and you’re good

7·11 days agoThere is a lot of reasonable doubt: no matching eyebrows, different clothes, suspicious evidence processing, disconnect in time-line, weird arrest conditions…

next day: “nope”
you’re saying you want more illegal immigration?
the only way to stop illegal immigration is to allow more paths to legal immigration.
After all, immigration is wholly and totally a net benefit, fiscally speaking.
they’re 8. I used to teach 9-10 year olds and it’s not their fault, they aren’t stupid but they are kids and sometimes the things they do aren’t fully thought through or appropriate and they don’t know better.
